. ' t \ caldaiia build cb by Mrs. Earl Reader It is nice to have Mr. and Mrs. John Beckett home and back into usual activities after their July trip to the West coast. While there John visited with his brother 8 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Aug. 18, 1976 Scugog Island news and views from New Zealand. They hadn't met since 1942. After the Becketts returned, they spent a weekend in Shel- burne at the Old Time Fiddlers Contest. Then the New Zealand brother arriv- PORT TAVERN now serving Srnovggesiord SERVED: 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m. Monday to Friday 2.95 OIMNIMIES "CLEARANCE ed at their home and they all drove to Rice Lake to visit a sister. The next lap of his long journey takes him to England. It all sounds like a very exciting and pleasant experience. Mrs. Edna Brekke and Laura have moved to Port Perry and are getting well settled. On Sun. Rev. Wylie cont- inued his series on the Beati- tudes and referred to 'their interpretation in various translations. We are pleased to welcome the summer visitors who are attending regularily. We were glad to chat again with Mrs. Stephen of Estavan Sask. who attend- ed with her daughter Bonnie and grandchildren. Mrs. Stephen enjoys travel. In March she and a daughter flew to Australia where she visited a sister she hadn't seen for over 60 years. Lately, you have noticed extra advertising pertaining to the Scugog Shores Mus- eum on the Island. There are indeed good reasons, with all the special weekend attract- ions of demonstrations. Last Sunday was no exception for interest and crowds. However, if you are main- ly interested in displays a week day is good when the guides are not so busy and you have more chance to realy enjoy the items. I try to go every year and find each visit equally enjoyable, with many changes and additions. You just can't help being impressed with the amount of work, talent and time put into it by people who really care. We hear people, who have lived on the Island most of their lives saying they have never yet been in the museum. They seem to prefer distant fields. Perhaps it's like people who live in Toronto but have never visited Casa Loma or Ontario Place. We learn much about the world from large museums but ours is close to our hearts because it is related to local life.

She has. seen many, including the one at Midhurst. But she said ours is different and enjoyed it very much, Next Sunday there is a double feature of attractions. A lady and her daughter will be spinning. Weather per- mitting, some will be done outside. Then for the men or any, who appreciate the art of fine carving, Mr. Lawrence Davis from Sea- grave will demonstrate his talents. Several months ago you saw his picture in the Port Perry Star along with some of his productions. Some Island people knew Mr. Davis and saw his work when he lived at Pine Point on a small farm adjoining the McLaren property. He did carpentry for Eatons and they frequently displayed his carvings in their decor. After retiring, Mr. Davis found it necessary to get a smaller place so moved to Seagrave. So come to the museum on Sunday from 2 to 4p.m. The fee of 50 cents is a mere pittance when you compare it with other admissions. We'll need good weather to accommodate the crowd. While we complain about taxes and high labour costs, we are inclined to ignore the amount of volunteer work done in hospitals, welfare, churches, youth groups, museums, on fair boards, library boards, arena boards blood clinics etc. The list is endless. Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Love have had their daughter Barbara and her family visiting from New Brun- swick. Terri Reader of Oshawa spent a week with her grand- parents Mr. and Mrs. Earl Reader. Bill Reader of Toronto visited his parental home prior to his third flight to Hawaii. Linda Samells spent a few days with her friend Joanne Ozaduke at the cottage at Madoc... On Sat. the Island Institute sold refresh- ments at a sale in Port Perry. The Island ladies are becoming quite efficient in this field of endeavour and seem to enjoy it. On Sunday the Fralicks had a family reunion picnic at "Grace" Church on the Island. Mr. and Mrs. John Sweet- man returned from a short- ened holiday.

Aug. 25 at 8 p.m. Considered to be the big- gest and most colourful show of the year, the event awards prizes to the best specimen, best arrangement, and best arrangement by novice arranger.
